I recently went from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit on my Acer 5536g laptop and I can't for the life of me get the DVD burner to work. It worked fine on Windows Vista: I used Windows DVD Maker to encode and burn DVDs to watch on my DVD player. However, after having switched to Windows 7...

I have two optical drives, a Sony CD-RW CRX320EE ATA CD-RW drive, and a Samsung (TSST) CDDVDW SH-223F DVD-RW drive. The Sony is a bit old, but the Samsung is brand-new. Both worked fine under Vista. Neither manufacturer supplies downloadable drivers for these, since they're plug and play, and...
